2012 is off and running and March has been declared "Membership Madness" month for 4-H clubs. The Prowers County 4-H Foundation is developing new ways of investing in 4-H's future and would like to ask your help to become a supporting member. 4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential by working and learning along with advancing knowledge in agriculture, the environment, human health, and well-being with communities creating opportunities for youth and adult volunteers.

The Foundation currently provides scholarship opportunities, as well as educational and leadership trips and learning opportunities. A donation of $25 or more entitles you to become a supporting member. As an incentive for the local 4-H'ers to become more active with the 4-H Foundation we developed a program with the 4-H clubs to bring in new Foundation members. For every new 4-H Foundation Member a club signs up, the Foundation will split the first year dues with the club. This incentive provides new members gives the 4-H clubs a possible money making project.

The 4-H club would like to welcome anyone to consider becoming a 2012 supporting member with a donation of $25 or more.
